Pretty Art Nouveau Silver Jewellery Box

A small silver jewellery casket with hinged domed cover with pretty shaped reeded edge. Set on three cabriole feet with stylised flower bud and leaf terminals. Raised edging to the base and rims; it retains its original pale pink silk interior, leather base and it is gilt washed inside the lid. Hallmarked for Birmingham 1919, makers A & J Zimmerman Ltd.

It measures 6.3cm (2 1/2") wide and 3.2cm (1 1/4") high and weighs 52g / 1.7 troy ounces.

In very good condition, the silver has only minor signs of age and use but with fractional distortion to the lower rim edge which isn't discernible unless viewed from below and the circular box itself is fine. The maker's mark is partially rubbed. The silk interior is frayed in the centre and the leather base shows expected signs of age.
